In this subreddit mods from various college subreddits come together to share best practices. Mods of smaller subreddits can come for help with ideas to grow. Mods from more active subreddits post interesting stories, tales of meetups, adventures, and warnings.

/* HEADLINE LINKS FOR MEETUPS AND WHATNOT, SHAMELESSLY BORROWED FROM /r/twincitiessocial */
/* This concept was originally developed by redditor jamt9000 */
/* Position headline links up top, using content from the sidebar (specifically, ordered lists) */
/* This CSS is for links... */

Here's what we use for our top announcements. You can grab the full code from the comment below - I don't want to clutter this post too much.

> Put things into an ordered list (1., 2., etc) to have them appear up top.
> Make them links to put them in a nice box.
1. **Upcoming Meetups**
2. [None right now! Set one up and invite us!](http://www.reddit.com/r/uofmn/submit)

This is how you put things into the header. This code goes into the sidebar code and can be changed easily by mods without going into CSS. The header announcement links code pulls it out of the sidebar and puts it up top.

/* this hides blockquoted text in the sidebar, which will allow us to leave "invisible" notes & instructions for fellow mods */
/* note that these are still visible when custom styles are disabled, and when scraped to facebook! */
.side div blockquote {
display: none
}

Example (sidebar text):

> Mods rule, woot woot

If you put this code into your CSS, you'll be able to leave notes for mods in the sidebar that won't be viewable until you edit the sidebar. They're not totally hidden, just invisible, so use this to hide formatting notes, not actual secret information.

This highlights meetup posts in green. It's really nice to help visibility.
